>When you say "tipped him off" what do you mean - "gave him the heads up"? He already knew what he was doing. I don't know if this was the same case, but it is a bit vague after a few decades, as I remember that he lost his nerve - tat's all.

I mean he was caught in that version of the story, and the luxury car was what got their attention.
